❗BREAKING Veterans are TWICE AS LIKELY to run out of food than people who have never served in the armed forces.
This is sad and shocking news – and the UK government has a moral responsibility to act.

BREAKING 🚨 The number of people facing hunger and hardship in the UK has hit a new record - 9.3 MILLION people.
Without urgent action, we sadly predict a further 425,000 people will face hunger by 2026.
But it doesn't have to be this way. The UK government CAN change this.
ALT Bright green graphic with wording on: 9.3 million people are facing hunger and hardship in the UK.

Massive thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund @TNLComFund for the huge donation of £20,000!
This funding comes at a time where we are increasingly having to buy in supplies as donations can no longer sustain the demand. Thank you so much!

Do you know that the basic rate of Universal Credit is £91 a week?
It isn't enough to cover the essentials and people are having to turn to food banks just to survive.
